SharkTums

We got if for $139 during Memorial Day Weekend with the APH rate. They really have weird pricing. We had to stay Thurs & Friday due to minimum stay requirements...oh well, it was really nice! Elissa "on par with the Disney Deluxes" Alvey

I'm totally going to post a picture of RatTums in the shirt! Elissa "or a pic of me in one of the 2XL's!" Alvey

If you're going to be in Orlando just do IOA/Universal...you can get a one day park hopper for about $70. Really great coasters and really great rides. BGT is about an hour away and without a discount will cost you about $55. There's Shakira, Kumba, and Montu that are really worth riding. What kind of coasters and rides do you like? Do you have transportation? Do you like dark rides? Tell us more so we can help you make a good decision. Elissa "ready to go back already" Alvey

Behind Annual Passholder and Florida Resident, AAA is usually best (at least this is what one of the guys who works in that department told me at the Florida meet). www.mousesavers.com usually has the discount codes to put in online so you can see the different prices. For example: APH = annual pass FLL = Florida resident and there were more! Elissa "APH RULZ!" Alvey

^^The funny thing about Hulk is that while it looks quite impressive it's only 110' tall!!! I'm guessing that means the loop which comes as the 4th inversion, is not too much more than 80feet. Elissa "of course I could be horribly wrong!" Alvey

First off, you're not ignorant! Secondly, the park has not added any MAJOR attractions since it opened in 1999. It opened a teacups ride and a roller skater, and a retheme of a dark ride since then. I'm sure within the next few years we'll see another major ride for the park, there are always wacky rumors out there. Most of them point to Jurassic Park as the home to either a B&M Flyer or a Wooden Coaster. Being from England, you should know that space is often not as big of a problem as it may appear to be! (cough, Blackpool, cough) Elissa "I'm still holding out hope for a Captain America Intamin Hyper Coaster!" Alvey

I for one think that those giant slides are better than most rides/attractions out there! I mean think about it, they never have a long line, you get killer airtime, and you really haul ass! Elissa "looking forward to getting up there at some point!" Alvey

Wes, It works on both check in day and check out day If you want 4 people to have it you have to put 4 people on your reservation even if they're not staying there. We did that for Dan once! It's usually about $25 extra per person to add them to the room (so they have the room key which is also the express pass). This is worth it if you're going to either do both parks in one day, or spend two days at the parks. Elissa "hope this helps!" Alvey

Shari, We have hired a pet sitter for RatTums...the same one that kept an eye on him over Christmas vacation. I really hate leaving him though, it makes me so sad! I wish I could just bring him with us! Elissa "he'll be checked on every 3 days!" Alvey

The parks are about 10 minutes apart. Elissa "I miss SDC!!!" Alvey

Ugh, that sucked!!! And there are like 5 of those on the Europe trip! Elissa "this isn't funny" Alvey

Hey there! Robb never sent me anything!!! My email is emeridithw2@aol.com Look forward to hearing from you! Elissa "silly robb!" Alvey

Orlando will be AWESOME during October. It won't be dead, but you will definitely see the difference from Christmas. As for Cali, since the parks are more locals parks, it won't be as crazy as it was for you in Florida. Again, very busy, but manageable! Elissa "I'm jealous of your Florida trip!" Alvey

Yeah that sounds fine...and yes USH can easily be done in a day. Remember that like 25% of USH's attractions are all on the Tram Tour! Elissa "have fun!" Alvey

LOL! These "Photo Reports" are all getting better and better! Elissa "can't wait to see what people come up with next" Alvey

^From Valencia! Ewwww! Only stupid people that love SFMM live in Valencia! Elissa "was that a typo about the working class Wife?!?!" Alvey

I've decided that there's definitely something off with the Kraken wait times. There have been at least 3 occaisions when we've gone there and they have posted some insane wait time like 55min and we wait for 15... I even asked last time "is this time accurate?" "No, it's actually about 10 minutes longer than what's posted." "But I can see into the queue house and it's just out of the station!!!" "<>" Weird... Tchoup Chop looks good, I was kind of scared to try it but now I'm going to go for it! Mmmm Mythos...btw, my mom had your Cedar Point Salmon when we went last week! Elissa "waiting for Part 3" Alvey

Nice TR! Stupid Zamperla rides! The only people who like Gwazi are dentists since it shakes your fillings out and then they make more money! The woodie was kind of cute and a surprise...the biggest surprise was that chick smiling with you guys! Eh, with Gay day only 30 miles away she probably figured you guys were pretty harmless! Elissa "booo to spinning raft rides" Alvey

That's not my scrawny, hairy leg!!! It's Derek's!!! Elissa "geez!" Alvey

Glad you had a good time! Elissa "so does Kingda Ka count as a credit for you!?!" Alvey

We usually try to post within a few weeks of the trip. Sometimes it might be shorter or longer depending on what else is going on. Everything's a little crazy right now with May 1st being our SDC trip, then May 24th we left for Florida, June 4th was the BBQ, and June 14th we leave for Europe! Plus with those pesky day jobs creeping in it's been hard. Ok sorry for rambling, I hope that answered your question! Elissa "tired most of the time!" Alvey

The top of the S&S Towers at Visionland had bees attacking us! The Turbo Drop would get to the top then I was screaming hoping we would fall to avoid the bees. I've heard about these Wasps on Shakira from other people as well. Busch says that they get rid of them everyday, and they just keep coming back! Elissa "I guess it's better than Geese!" Alvey

^I think he said that both Raven and Legend were running 1 train each. Elissa "silly Rock!" Alvey

LOL, I'm almost glad to see a TR which describes PKI how I have seen it on numerous occaisions. That park really just has incredibly bad days! I've been there where half the coasters are closed, operations are poor, and I still don't get why everyone loves the Beast!!!??? Glad you still managed to have a good time! Elissa "stupid PKI!" Alvey
